Angus Young made a huge impact on rock and roll. He always wore a school boy's uniform when playing live which changed the way people dressed on stage forever. Also the volume of his playing was extremely high and that influenced people not to be afraid to play or do things loud.
Randy Rhoads' fast guitar licks and face melting solos changed the way people played guitar and just how people would look at the guitar.
Jimi Hendrix was a guitar legend. His use of wah effects and what he did on the stage was unbelievable. He lit guitars on fire, played with his teeth, broke amps and did all sorts of crazy stunts on stage. After him people realized how important it was to put on a good show and play good music.
Eddie Van Halen changed guitar forever. His technique was taken by almost every guitarist after him. He used techniques like tapping, tremelo picking, hammer-ons and others that people before him werent using as much.
Jimmy Page's amazing rhythms and outstanding chops amazed everyone around him. He created such musical genius. Without Jimmy Page guitar today would be much different. He used something called the double neck guitar where a guitar had two different necks, one with 6 strings and one with 12 strings. He changed all of rock and roll music forever.
